Tildes, manager of the Bank of New Zealand, the special jury, after half an hour’s deliberation, found for plaintiff, and awarded him £125 damages.

Sullivan, Wellington,” but closer examination shows an old, label which reads “ Lieutenant Clampett, Waterford.” ! Charles Hart Ashforth, financial! agent, Wanganui, who recently filed a petition of bankruptcy, was charged on Saturday, on the information of S. Carrick with having feloniously, applied to his own * use £325 placed in hia hands by informant for investment for a specific purpose.
